Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the long-term impact of undernutrition during specific periods of fetal life, upon central adiposity, control of feeding behaviour and locomotor activity. DESIGN Pregnant rats were fed a control or low-protein (LP) diet, targeted to early (LPE), mid (LPM) or late (LPL) pregnancy or throughout gestation (LPA). The offspring were studied at 9 and 18 months of age. MEASUREMENTS Adiposity was assessed by measuring weight of abdominal fat depots relative to body weight. Locomotor activity was assessed using an infrared sensor array system in both light and dark conditions. Hypothalamic expression of mRNA for galanin and the galanin 2 receptor (Gal2R) was determined using real-time PCR. RESULTS At 9 months, male rats exposed to LP in utero had less fat in the gonadal depot, but were of similar body weight to controls. By 18 months, the males of groups LPA and LPM had more abdominal and less subcutaneous fat. Females deposited more fat centrally than males between 9 and 18 months of age, and this was more marked in groups LPA and LPL. Food intake was greater in LPM males. Among females hypophagia was noted in groups LPA and LPL. Expression of galanin and Gal2R were unaffected by maternal diet. Total locomotor activity was reduced in LPE males and all LP females in the light but not in the dark. CONCLUSION Locomotor activity and feeding behaviour in aged rats are subject to prenatal programming influences. Fetal undernutrition does not programme obesity in rats without postnatal dietary challenge.

Abstract
PURPOSE Functional MRI evaluation of the cortical response in treated amblyopic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical and functional MRI exploration of ten patients, seven men and three women aged from 21 to 59 years, with strabismus management during childhood. Functional evaluations were performed on a 1.5 Tesla MR device, with four monocular functional sessions, two stimulations per eye. Alternating rest and active phases displayed still and flickering black and white checkerboards with spatial and temporal frequencies of 1 degree/8Hz and 15'/4Hz. Anatomical realignment and statistical analysis were performed using SPM99 (Statistical Parametric Mapping) to compare the four sessions in individuals. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In patients presenting a visual acuity of the amblyopic eye less than 0.7, stimulation of this eye induced lower response in V1, V3, and V5 in comparison with the contralateral eye stimulation. Unexpectedly, in patients recovering normal or subnormal acuity, the amblyopic eye gave comparable or enhanced response in these areas. Additional response was found in the secondary visual cortex, the cuneus, the lingual gyrus, and in parietal, frontal, and orbitofrontal areas. These results suggest a variation in cortical response depending on the efficacy of the treatment. Recovered amblyopic eye, even with acuity less than the contralateral eye, may induce a reinforced cortical sensitivity to visual stimulus. Secondary visual areas may contribute to an attentional process in image perception and analysis. Cortical plasticity may be observed several years after amblyopia treatment. CONCLUSION Our study substantiates the importance of an effective and early treatment of functional amblyopia, inducing cortical plasticity with reinforced attention and sensitivity to visual perception.

Abstract
Using MRI, we demonstrated that the depiction of the cerebral white matter fiber tracts has become a routine procedure. Diffusion tensor (DT) sequences may be analyzed with combined volume analysis and tractography extraction software, giving indirect visualization of white matter connections. We obtained DT data from 20 subjects with normal MR imaging and five patients presenting cerebral diseases such as brain tumors, multiple sclerosis and stroke, with five patients explored on two different MR scanners. Data were transferred to dedicated workstations for anatomical realignment, determination of voxel eigenvectors and calculation of fiber tract orientations in a region of interest. In all subjects, axonal directions underlying the main neuronal pathways could be delineated. Comparisons between diseased regions and contralateral areas demonstrated changes in voxel anisotropy in injured regions, revealing possible preferential fiber orientations within diffuse T2 hyperintensities. Rapid data processing allows imaging of the normal and diseased fiber pathways as part of the routine MRI examination. Therefore, it appears that whenever white matter disease is suspected a tractography can be performed with this fast and simple method that we proved to be reliable and reproducible.

Abstract
Water diffusion analysis in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an elective visualization of fiber tract orientations in cerebral white matter, especially for optic tracts. We explored 25 patients from 18 to 45 years of age, with normal MRI in 20 subjects, and radiological anomalies in five. On a 1.5 Tesla MRI apparatus, diffusion tensor acquisitions were performed in 5 minutes 58 seconds with an EPI Single Shot sequence covering the entire brain. Image displacements were precluded by patient information and adequate fixation, then digitally corrected on workstations. Volume merging and fiber tract extraction were achieved using dedicated software (Volume-One and dTV). A directional depiction was obtained for all areas in the white matter, in particular for white matter junctions. Coming from the lateral geniculate body, the optic tracts were directed posteriorly toward the occipital cortex, with numerous connections to extrastriate associative areas, and through the corpus callosum and the fornix. Diffusion tractography requires optimization of volume displacements, before and secondary to MRI acquisitions. Our diffusion tensor acquisition, with image optimization in a short-duration sequence can be routinely applied to all patients, for a specific analysis of functional connections between cortical areas of cerebral white matter.

Abstract
Conscious sedation is commonly utilized in pediatric dentistry. Although opioid analgesics are often employed, patient safety would be enhanced if nonopioid drugs were used. The purpose of this study was to determine if rectal ketamine could produce plasma concentrations that would achieve both conscious sedation and analgesia to gingival needle puncture. Five 2-year-old male Macaca fuscata monkeys were given rectal ketamine at a dosage of 60 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg one week apart. Blood was drawn at selected times after administration, and vital signs, level of sedation, and consciousness were assessed. Plasma ketamine concentrations ranged from 240 to 820 ng/mL and from 390 to 3120 ng/mL after rectal administration at doses of 60 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg, respectively. Two monkeys after the high dose showed analgesia to a gingival needle puncture at plasma ketamine concentrations that ranged from 1390 to 3120 ng/mL. A good level of sedation was consistently observed in four monkeys (80%) following rectal ketamine at a dosage of 90 mg/kg, whereas one monkey showed a consistently good level at a dosage of 60 mg/kg. Sedation and dose were significantly (P less than 0.001) associated with plasma ketamine concentrations; physiologic parameters were not (P greater than 0.05). The results of this study suggest that rectal ketamine can produce plasma concentrations of the drug sufficient to achieve sedation in the monkey. The attainment of concomitant analgesia to a gingival needle puncture was not as predictable.
